Militant convicted of terrorist acts in Sistan and Baluchestan executed: Iran’s Judiciary
A militant affiliated with the so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group and convicted of carrying out acts of terror in the country’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan has been executed, Iran’s Judiciary says.
The death sentence of the convict, identified as Amer Ramesh, was carried out early Sunday morning, after his conviction was confirmed by Iran’s Supreme Court and all legal procedures were completed.
Ramesh was captured during a counterterrorism operation in Pir Sohrab rural district of Chabahar County in the province.
The Provincial Revolution Court initially convicted him of planting bombs, launching surprise attacks on Iranian law enforcement forces, and membership in the Jaish al-Adl terrorist group, as well as a criminal anti-Iran outfit led by fugitive militant Abdul-Ghaffar Naqshbandi, and sentenced him to death.
Based on existing documents, evidence, and his explicit confessions, Iran’s top tribunal upheld the ruling against Ramesh.
Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terror attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.
Terrorist groups carrying out attacks against Iranian interests in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the country are believed to be linked to foreign intelligence services.
On October 26, 2024, ten members of Iran’s law enforcement forces were killed in a terrorist attack in the Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County in the province.
The Jaish al-Adl terrorist group claimed responsibility for the assault, which was one of the deadliest in the province in recent years.
